229 East 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The five-story tenement building at 229 East 14th Street in Gramercy, owned by Lawrence McGarvey, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The building contains 9 units and has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, indicating effective pest management practices. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.
Recent building maintenance and safety concerns have primarily centered around ventilation and gas utility issues. Inspection records show three complaints regarding illegal or improper vent/exhaust systems between 2024 and 2025, though no violations were warranted upon inspection of these complaints. A gas utility referral complaint in March 2023 was marked as "Access Denied" after two attempts to inspect.
The building's owner was cited in February 2022 for a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved based on subsequent years' clean reports. Two separate complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms were filed in 2020 and 2021, but inspections found no violations in either case. The building's overall maintenance history suggests regular compliance with basic housing requirements, particularly in terms of pest control and safety inspections, although there have been several instances of access issues for inspectors that may warrant attention to building entry protocols.
